Coach to Lead

The “Coach to Lead” program shares the values within the

Department of Vocational Rehabilitation’s mission - to promote a thriving

employment environment with opportunity for every Coloradan with a disability to live independently and prosper. After 12-weeks of learning and hands-on practice, graduates of this program will be proficient and certified (ICF and C-Me) in the following skills that match the values of the program. Students will learn foundational coaching best practices, how to implement leadership strategies, and how to use the C-Me psychometric assessment program to coach and consult at the highest levels, equipping them with the knowledge and certifications to stand out in a crowded, but growing, industry.

Integrity: We will learn the value of emotional intelligence and doing the right

thing when nobody is looking. Leaders today MUST lead by example. Our

foundational concepts are grounded in transformational leadership theory

(Inspirational motivation, Individual consideration, idealized influence, innovation,

and intellectual stimulation) and so much more.

Commitment: Graduate will not only gain an understanding of how important

being fully committed is to leading people and organizations, but they will gain

coaching tools to be able to show others the importance of commitment.

Advocacy: Graduates will learn our “Coach to Lead” approach where they will

actively coach each other through real-world issues in a controlled learning

environment.

Respect: The number one rule in our course is that we will respect each others

ideas, words, bodies, minds, and viewpoints. This is a safe place to learn and

grow.

Excellence: Our program has nothing short of excellence in mind. Graduates will

leave with a world class accreditation through the C-Me psychometric profiling

program as well as 60 hours toward the most notably recognized coaching

certification - ICF.
